Unable to install template from nuget

fbarresi commented 3 years ago

Hello!

I'm trying to install a custom template for a whole solution I worte and published in nuget without any success. I can install the template from source and I also tested it works right in this way. repository: https://github.com/fbarresi/twincat-wpf-boilerplate nuget package: https://www.nuget.org/packages/TwincatWpfHMI.template/1.0.5

Steps to reproduce

I run dotnet new --install TwincatWpfHMI.template::1.0.5

Expected behavior

The template should be installed and listed.

Actual behavior

The template is not listed and there is no error message.

Environment data

Output of dotnet --info

Seems to be working for me just fine: and created:

Can you execute dotnet new -u that should list all installed things.

I wonder if problem is that its conflicting with folder installation of same template you have on your machine...

fbarresi commented 3 years ago

Hi! Thank you for your quick reply. I still cannot install the template, so I suppose this behavior may depend on my machine, but what causes it and why?

That's the output of dotnet new -u

Hi, sorry for slow response.

I had to give some thought what is happening here, and it seems like our logging when install fails is very poor at this moment :(.

So if you are willing to try 2 things for me, I would appreciate...

Create new temporary folder
Create new file called, test.csproj

Set content of that file to be

<Project ToolsVersion="15.0" Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
<PropertyGroup>
<TargetFrameworks>netcoreapp3.1</TargetFrameworks>
</PropertyGroup>

<ItemGroup>
<PackageReference Remove="Microsoft.NETCore.App" />
<PackageReference Include="TwincatWpfHMI.template" Version="1.0.5" />

</ItemGroup>
</Project>

Execute dotnet restore test.csproj --packages Packages This should create new folder called Packages and I wonder if it contains TwincatWpfHMI.template.nupkg folder?

If that works... I would like you to try another thing... Can you Zip folder called C:\Users\David\.templateengine where you replace David with your user name, and then delete .templateengine and try installing again? Reason for Zipping this folder is... that If this works we can maybe try to figure out what this bug is about since it will be reproducible....

If all of this is too much work, its OK... In future version of TemplateEngine and dotnet new we plan to improve logging which should make diagnosing this easier.

fbarresi commented 3 years ago

Hi! No problem, I'm glad to help with those tests! 👍

The test with a test.csproj doesn't works. No folder with packages was created.
Under C:\.templateengine\ there are 2 subfolders: dotnetcli and rider even if I drop all from I still cannot install the template. (The folder .templateengine and dotnetcli are recreated.)

At this point I think it makes sense to debug the dotnet new cli locally on my machine. Should I try?

DavidKarlas commented 3 years ago

Looks like problem is with dotnet restore test.csproj --packages Packages not working... That is why dotnet new fails to install...

Can you execute dotnet restore -v diag test.csproj --packages Packages and upload output to https://gist.github.com/ and share link here?

fbarresi commented 3 years ago

Here my output.

Can you understand it or should switch to English for cli output?

DavidKarlas commented 3 years ago

Can you execute echo %MSBuildSDKsPath%? Seems like you have it set and it is preventing dotnet restore from downloading .nupkg.

fbarresi commented 3 years ago

Yes, it is set:

C:\>echo %MSBuildSDKsPath%
C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\3.1.402\Sdks

C:\>

Should I delete this environment variable?

DavidKarlas commented 3 years ago

If you don't need it unset it. It should make installing templates work.

fbarresi commented 3 years ago

Thank you very much! it works!
